P50 Service-Free 2ltr Foam Fire Extinguisher
Discontinued Product
This AFFF foam extinguisher has been discontinued as part of our ongoing mission at the forefront of fire safety and sustainability.
Britannia's P50 2ltr foam fire extinguisher is a service-free unit that does not require servicing by a trained engineer, a simple visual inspection annually is all that is required throughout its impressive 10 year lifespan.
Kitemarked to BS EN3 by BSI, the extinguisher can have its lifespan doubled by a factory refurbishment to provide a 20 years' service.
- Optional site survey, installation and certification
- Extinguisher Ratings: 13A, 55B
- 10 years of savings and 10 year warranty
- Safe for use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V at a distance of 1m
- Simple visual inspection instead of expensive annual engineer call-out
- BSI kitemarked to BS EN3
- UV protected, corrosion resistant, and weatherproof design
- Super strength composite construction, manufactured in the UK
- Recyclable extinguisher
- Supplied with a wall bracket as standard
- Free 'after fire replacement'
- Please Note: AFFF foam fire extinguishers contain substances that are a risk to the environment and to human health. The use of all AFFF foam extinguishers will soon be subject to regulations and all AFFF foam extinguishers will be prohibited by law in the next few years. Purchasing a P50 Service-Free Foam Extinguisher now means it will need to be replaced before the end of its lifespan. Whilst Safelincs are still offering the P50 Foam Extinguishers for sale, we strongly advise customers to consider the P50 Service-Free Water Mist Extinguisher as a suitable alternative.

Q. Why do P50 fire extinguishers not need to be serviced by a 3rd party extinguisher technician?
A.
P50 service-free fire extinguishers are constructed from components that will not corrode. So, unlike traditional stainless-steel extinguishers there is no need to replace parts that may have corroded over the 10-year period.
Q. Who can carry out the annual visual inspection for P50 fire extinguishers?
A.
Anyone in your organisation can complete the annual visual inspection for P50 service-free extinguishers. To ensure that they are competent in this simple process we train your staff as part of our installation package at no extra cost to you. We will issue staff with training certificates.
Want to see what the annual visual inspections entails? Here is a clear video guide that will show you just how easy it is to maintain your P50 extinguishers.
Q. Are service-free extinguishers accepted by insurance companies?
A.
Most major insurance companies have approved P50 service-free fire extinguishers. Insurance companies usually request that extinguishers are checked annually by a competent or responsible person. The guidelines for extinguisher servicing, the BS 5306-3: 2009 standard, also states that the responsible person should maintain the extinguishers. A responsible person is defined as someone who has had the correct training to carry out this annual inspection as outlined by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer gives clear guidance that only an annual visual check is required and as part of our installation package we will train your staff how to do this. We will provide your staff with a training certificate to demonstrate their competency in this process.
Q. What will I have to do to maintain my P50 fire extinguishers over the first 10 years?
A.
Unlike traditional steel fire extinguishers you will only need to carry out an annual visual inspection each year, there is no need to discharge and refill P50 service-free fire extinguishers after 5 years.
NB. As with all extinguishers you still need to do a monthly walk past of your extinguishers to ensure that they are in the correct position and have not been tampered with.
Q. P50 service-free fire extinguisher have a 20-year lifespan, other than the annual visual check, do I need to anything else in this 20-year period?
A.
Show All After 10 years you will need to have your P50 fire extinguisher factory refurbished. It will then last you another 10 years. Contact our customer care team and they can organise this for you.

I am pleased to have fire extinguishers which last 10 years rather than ones which only last a few years and also need annual servicing.
